[edit] Arrowsmith Research

This article appears to be advertising for Arrowsmith Research Company and was probably written by same. It is written from the point of view of the company ("Our products are used throughout the chip design process from architectural conception through silicon tapeout.") in a tone inappropriate for an encyclopedia. There are ten links to the OpenAccess article, which it is claimed is used by Arrowsmith Research, and a great deal of text concerning OpenAccess which resembles ad copy. For example: "IC CAD engineers spend an inordinate amount of time integrating them with thousands of lines of translator code. The resulting flows are fragile and error-prone. As well, they are inefficient and result in longer IC design cycle times. Engineered for industry-wide interoperability, the OpenAccess database allows users to construct flows incorporating design tools from multiple sources to best suit their needs."

The WP:NOT page states that "Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine" and "Articles about companies and products are fine if they are written in an objective and unbiased style." This article is not written in an unbiased style, it does not link to any articles other than OpenAccess and EDA, and is written in a first person voice from Arrowsmith Research's point of view.
